Amazon Prime Video has secured the exclusive first window worldwide rights, excluding the U.S., Canada and China, to the psychological thriller series “Cruel Summer”, reports Variety who adds that the series will launch on Prime Video following its U.S. premiere on Freeform later this year.
Produced by Texas Chainsaw Massacre‘s Jessica Biel, “Cruel Summer” takes place over three summers in the ’90s when a beautiful and popular teen goes missing, and a seemingly unrelated girl transforms from a sweet and awkward outlier to the most popular girl in town, eventually becoming the most despised person in America.
“Each episode is said to be told from the POV of one of the two main girls (Jeanette and Kate), which will have the viewer’s loyalties constantly shifting as more information is revealed.”
The series stars Olivia Holt, pictured above, with Chiara Aurelia, Michael Landes, Froy Gutierrez, Harley Quinn Smith, Allius Barnes, Blake Lee, Brooklyn Sudano and Sarah Drew.
